Reverend Doctor @70

By Tafadzwa Grey

Seventy years of life is a journey so grand

Whoever guided your path is so saintly and grand

Not only St Douglas and St Cecilia, a special parental brand

But the whole of Rusere Village which nurtured this brand

You have served so many so far, with purpose and glow

So many missions and parishes, the works of your faith glow

Now you owe a debt of gratitude as you continue to grow

Your teachers, formmators and mentors who helped you grow

Rev Doc Nyatsanza is a name known so well

In pursuit of knowledge you stood out only so well

Philosophy and theology, a quest for truth and light

A Doctor of Theology, a beacon in the night

Pastoral work and leadership, a life of service and might

From Gweru to Masvingo, your heart is always in sight

Rector, Vicar General, Secretary General too

A life of dedication, with a true heart too

Round and round the world, many experiences on your way

Africa, America, the Middle East and Europe – home and away

Global perspectives shaped your life in every way

We wish you many more years of making headway
